If the RNC chooses Christie, (and they choose the Candidate, not the voters) 99.9% of you will end up voting for him with yard signs just like that Creep Romney. Never fails.

The resources to figure out that you are the Black Vote for the RNC is not available to most people here. Spend the next four years with big talk, and you will line up and support what ever garbage the RNC dishes up. Never fails, Never will Fail...

Sorry to see that people have STILL not learned from the past 25 years.

Most of you people have no voice, none! You are sheep for the RNC. You would vote for Lassie for President if he was the nominee. You are exactly the “Black vote” for the RNC. And you do not have the resources to ever realize it.

Romney has the whole package. Private sector, governing a large important state, solid credentials, spotless record, might have cheated at checkers once. Total boyscout, handsome, well-spoken confident, and America said no thanks, wed rather have free stuff.

Romney also is one of the biggest losers in American political history. You get that title when you have no solid positions to run on. He is as genuine as those golden tablets

Blame the RNC again for serving up garbage to vote for. With what has happened for the past 4 years and to not be able to unseat Obama was almost impossible. Yet the RNC did it with amazing results. I despise the RNC about 2 percentage points less that the RATS.

If you analyze it I believe the very heart and soul of conservatism is libertarianism. I think conservatism is really a misnomer just as liberalism is a misnomer for the liberalsif we were back in the days of the Revolution, so-called conservatives today would be the Liberals and the liberals would be the Tories.

The basis of conservatism is a desire for less government interference or less centralized authority or more individual freedom and this is a pretty general description also of what libertarianism is.

"An association fallacy is an inductive informal fallacy of the type hasty generalization or red herring which asserts that qualities of one thing are inherently qualities of another, merely by an irrelevant association.

The two types are sometimes referred to as guilt by association and honor by association. Association fallacies are a special case of red herring, and can be based on an appeal to emotion."

Anyone with a 4th grade education can see that Ron Paul is a Neo-skinhead racist. But anyone with more than a 4th grade education can see that it is just more smear...

What they found were some clear parallels between evolution and climate science. Because of these similarities, the NCSE has decided that their past experience can be helpful. “The anti-climate change controversy is about where the antievolution controversy was 20 years ago,” Scott told Ars. “We’ve learned a lot—we including the scientific community—dealing with the evolution controversy and, with luck, maybe we can get ahead of this.” One of the things they’ve learned is that the “deficit model”—the idea that people don’t like the science because they don’t understand it—doesn’t really apply. “You’re not going to be effective if you are talking about only throwing more science at people who hold different views from you—you have to deal with the ideological component as well,” Scott said. “Our experience with that will hopefully be useful.”

Mr. Paul spoke Tuesday at South Carolinas statehouse, where he picked up the endorsement of three of the states conservative lawmakers days ahead of South Carolinas GOP primary on Saturday. State Sens. Kevin Bryant, Lee Bright and Danny Verdin added their backing to that of state Sen. Tom Davis, who endorsed Mr. Paul on Sunday.

Remember that every government service, every offer of government - financed security, is paid for in the loss of personal freedom... In the days to come, whenever a voice is raised telling you to let the government do it, analyze very carefully to see whether the suggested service is worth the personal freedom which you must forgo in return for such service. 

"Those Ratings are really only a measure of a representative's submission to political parties, and not how well they stand for liberal or conservative principles.

As such, those rated should be referred to more accurately as either Democrat or Republican, and not liberal or conservative. It's disappointing to learn that The Vote Ratings are clearly a measure of conformity to political parties rather than principles."

"I cant believe that at one time I actually wanted DeMint to run. What a fool."

So we can now add Jim DeMint to the pile of past conservative "Heroes"

Gotta be missing someone! When this is over there will be no bad blood, because no matter how tough the talk, in the voting booth, the FR will pull the Mitt lever. NO MATTER WHAT is posted in the near future.

One of the things thats hurt the so-called conservative alternative [candidates] is saying negative things about Ron Paul, said Senator DeMint on conservative Laura Ingrahams radio show. Id like to see a Republican Party that embraces a lot of the libertarian ideas.

"Isolationism is the policy or doctrine of isolating one's country from the affairs of other nations by declining to enter into alliances, foreign economic commitments, foreign trade, international agreements, etc., seeking to devote the entire efforts of one's country to its own advancement and remain at peace by avoiding foreign entanglements and responsibilities."

"Nonintervention or non-interventionism is a foreign policy which holds that political rulers should avoid alliances with other nations, but still retain diplomacy, and avoid all wars not related to direct self-defense. This is based on the grounds that a state should not interfere in the internal politics of another state, based upon the principles of state sovereignty and self-determination. A similar phrase is "strategic independence".[1] Historical examples of supporters of non-interventionism are US Presidents George Washington and Thomas Jefferson, who both favored nonintervention in European Wars while maintaining free trade. Other proponents include United States Senator Robert Taft and United States Congressman Ron Paul."

For months, polls showed Obama languishing at about 60 percent of the Jewish vote, a critical chunk short of the 75 percent or so Sen. John Kerry (D-Mass.) garnered in 2004. But exit polls from the Tuesday election showed Obama matching those results, garnering about 78 percent of the Jewish vote against 22 percent for Sen. John McCain (R-Ariz.), his Republican rival.

"I want to totally disassociate myself from the policies that have given us unprecedented deficits, massive monetary inflation, indiscriminate military spending, an irrational and unconstitutional foreign policy, zooming foreign aid, the exaltation of international banking, and the attack on our personal liberties and privacy"

So you are defending these points knowing how the movie ended? Think 2008...
